Err, you want the C of P behind the C of G for stability in flight, so
moving the C of G rearwards will do stability no favours at all unless
the C of P is also changed.

A hollow point will remove the sharp tip which has a high drag/mass
ratio so it will move the C of P rearwards but it will also, as you
say, move the C of G backwards. Not sure which of the two will be the
most affected but from what everyone says, presumably the C of P moves
more.

 

It's interesting to note the number of racist epithets that UKRM has for
'Johnny Foreigner'. 'wogs', ''frogs', 'krauts', 'spics', 'Kikes',
'Yids', 'boxheads', 'cloggies' ...

The English really are a racist nation.

As we've seen, being called 'Rosbifs' by the French, is an English
fantasy. Indeed, if you check the word in _Le Petit Robert_, it lists
it as 'vielli' which means 'old' or to quote ..

'mot, sens ou expression encore compréhensible de nos jours, mais qui ne
s'emploie plus naturellement dans la langue parlée courante'

Translation: 'word, sense or expression still understandable nowadays,
but which is no longer used naturally in everyday speech'.

Just about the only time you'll hear the word 'rosbif' is when the
English call themselves it in front of the French (presumably to
'assuage' their own conscience at having so many racist terms for other
peoples), or in a 'jocular' manner designed to 'play to the crowd', as
in when SD reported its having been used by a rugby commentator. We
just _don't_ use this word to describe the English.

As for 'boche', it gets the same tag in _Le Petit Robert_: 'vieilli'.
I've heard it maybe twice in the past ten years, and on both occasions
the speaker was over seventy years old.

Heh.

 

You know he's only doing this to get a bite, don't you?

 

**** off, cretin. 'He' is doing this because it's a subject that
interests him.

Well a quick straw poll among some 'real French' [1] people reveals that
there are nowhere nearly as many insulting names for other nationalities
as in English. Another couple I've seen here are 'Nips' or 'Japs' for
the Japanese, 'Chinks' for the Chinese, 'Yanks' for the Americans,
'paddies' for the Irish .. have I missed any?

Now that the 'rosbif' myth is lying in smithereens around UKRM's feet,
it's interesting to see how racist the British really are. Perhaps it's
due to the British 'warlike' nature that's had you lot at war with
almost every nation on earth at some time or other. Then again, France
was a colonial power (<space for infantile comment on 'French military
victories' ____________________________________>), too.

I'd have to agree with the German ambassador who a few years ago
complained about British racism at the time of an England v. Germany
match. 'huns', 'krauts', etc. I recall some English mates a few years
ago who, when I turned up with a German girlfriend, thought they were
being hilariously funny by strutting around the bar making Nazi salutes
and chanting, 'don't mention the war!'

That sort of 'twisting the knife' sixty years after the end of the war
has to be, IMHO, indicative of a huge degree of insecurity on the part
of the Brits.

Haven't we been here before?

Are you suggesting a brit defaced a war memorial to "in a 'jocular'
manner designed to 'play to the crowd'"?

 

A lot of the instability of a bullet in flight derives from the
acceleration phase while the bullet travels along the barrel and having
spin imparted upon it. The point of the bullet will 'try' to spin out
side the centre line of travel as it is accelerated and spun. (The
bullet tries to lay to one side). Moving the mass to the rear of the
contact area that is imparting spin will reduce this effect.

The difference after leaving the barrel is that a bullet spinning along
its axis of flight will travel in a straight line (this is ignoring the
ballistic trajectory). A bullet where the point is spinning minutely
around its axis of flight will travel in a cork screw path all be it
slightly. This altered path accentuates the effect of other variable
like eg. cross wind on its trajectory as well as its point of impact in
relation to the aimed point.

HTH.

 

I recall that event. I'm googling as I write these words and _as far_
_as I can recall_, the people eventually arrested weren't French. But I
could be wrong (hey, it _could_ happen)....

Lots of times. Please don't pander to the thick **** who clearly knows
as little about real french people as he does about real jews.

This isn't about you, Ace.

Still ... I'm glad to see that you've stopped using the word 'kike'.
'wonder why, eh ..?

While working for CNES in Kourou in French Guiana it was a common
'affectionate' term for the English working there.
As was it was in CNES Toulouse.

Maybe not it Paris. I have always found the Parisians 'different'[1] to
the rest of France.


[1] I being polite here.

 

Hmm, I can't find news of collars getting felt. If you look at the
spelling, though, you'll see 'rosbeefs'. The ''long "i"' sound (as in
'teen', or 'cheese') is produced in English by doubling the 'e'.

Not so in French. Ask a Frenchman to write that sound, and most of us
would use 'i'. Hence 'rosbif' and not 'rosbeef'.

Offhand (and I gave it all of fifteen seconds' thought), I can't think
of a single vowel in French that is lengthened by doubling it, as
English does with the 'e'. Write a word with two or more 'e' in French
and most of us will be looking for an acute accent somewhere, like
'créée' or 'donnée', and pronouncing it like 'ay' in 'hay'.

Well having lived in eight French cities for extended periods of time
and having frequented a lot of English ex-pats, I can assure you that no
one _ever_ called one of them a 'rosbif'. The only time I heard the
word, was in conversation when one of the Brits referred to himself.

Ask any French bloke what the word 'rosbif' means and yes of course,
we'll know what it is. We just don't use it.

D.

 

Oh dear that must have been 10 years of me imagining it then.

 

No I'd suggest it was ten years of people making fun of you ..
